POPSDisabled Vets Shun McCain in Las Vegas Still obsessing over the privatization of the VA for some reason, John McCain is poised to lose the veterans' vote for good. In fact, in response to his Saturday speech to the DAV, Iraq War veteran and double-amputee Tammy Duckworth had this to say about McCain's proposals: "John McCain has said that improving veterans' health care would be his top domestic priority as President, yet he has repeatedly voted against increased funding for veterans health care. And now he offers up an plastic card option that will lead to privatization of veterans health care. No one knows how to help and heal veterans like veterans -- had I ended up in a regular hospital after returning from Iraq, I would lost my arm. McCain's plan will only hurt the VA and our veterans more than they are already hurting."

POPSHe will run, we will win Based on the team’s findings, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland, has ruled that Pistorius is eligible to participate in International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) sanctioned competitions. If he qualifies for the 2008 Beijing games, Pistorius would be the first disabled athlete ever to run against able-bodied athletes in an Olympic event.

POPSThe Science Of The Orgasm "But today, a few scientists are making real progress -- in part because they're changing their focus. To uncover the orgasm's secrets, researchers are looking beyond the clitoris, vagina, penis and prostate, to the place behind the scenes where the true magic happens. They're examining the central nervous system: the network of electrical impulses that zip to and fro through the brain and spinal cord."

POPSScience of orgasm The intensity builds to a crescendo, and just like a long-awaited sneeze, tension is released in an explosive rush. The heart rate doubles. In women, the uterus contracts rhythmically; in men, sperm-carrying semen is propelled out of the body. And somehow, by mechanisms not yet understood, the brain perceives all this activity as a darn good feeling.

POPSAmputee feels limb in chest They are learning to reconfigure Neural pathways. While the amputees has sensation in the chest, they could clearly disdinguish between the chest sensations, and the sensations for the limb. They hope the research will lead to restoration of nervous function to prostthetics

POPSNew, bionic hands available to Iraq vets I'm sure they'd rather have the hands they were born with, but at least the government is trying to relieve some of the trauma of having a hand blown off by giving them a super-duper replacement.

POPSAmputee Tiger Glad to see he's doing well. Now if only he'd track down the poachers and eat them. That would make it even better.

POPSMental Care Falls Short for Vets While its easy to remember those soldiers who are injured physically, there are many more that are suffering mentally. Not that one trauma is any worse or better than the other, more attention needs to be paid to the thousands of veterans that are suffering mentally and facing substandard care.

POPSThe Military is sending some amputees back into combat I do not doubt the courage of these heroic soldiers who are asking to be sent back into active duty, and sometimes combat after losing a limb(s) in the Iraq war. But isn't it kinda interesting how the military says ALL of our soldiers have talents and abilities that are needed and if an amputee wants to remain on active duty, or combat, and they are able to do so, they will be sent back, and yet at the same time, they see fit to discharge interpreters, translators, combat personnel etc, simply for being gay?
